Teaching drop in classes can be fun. You never know who you’re going to see in class, you start fresh every time & students can come and go as they please. However, teaching drop in classes also has it’s limitations; it’s hard to progress or build from week to week, or build a strong container as the students change from week to week.
One alternative to teaching drop in classes is THE SERIES. A predetermined number of classes, held together by a strong theme in which students register in advance to attend the whole shebang. In today’s episode I speak with Lauren Enright - yoga teacher, doula, and coach who has successfully mastered the series model of teaching classes, and agreed to come on the show today to share how she did it.

Episode Description:
I’m always doing rituals. Before my morning practice. Before I see clients, teach a class or record an interview. Bigger events get bigger rituals. And to be honest, I’ve never given it much thought, except for the fact that it’s something I like to do, and so I do it. However, when today's guest, Mara Branscombe, reached out to me to talk about her new book, Ritual As Remedy, I was intrigued.
ABOUT MARA
Mara Branscombe is a mother, writer, yogi, artist, teacher, mindfulness leader, ceremonialist and spiritual coach. She is the author of “Ritual As Remedy: Embodied Practices For Soul Care.” Mara is passionate about weaving the art of mindfulness, self-care, creativity, mind–body practices, and earth-based rituals into her life and work, and she has been leading community ceremony since 2000. An adventurous spirit, Mara has sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, trekked across the Himalayas, studied yoga in India, planted trees in Canada’s north, lived off the grid in a remote cabin in the woods, worked as a Waldorf (Steiner School) teacher, and then found her passion for dance and choreography. All the while yoga, meditation, mysticism and ritual have been at the heart of Mara’s journey. Her trainings in the Incan Shaman lineage and the Pagan tradition have greatly inspired her life’s work of earth-based, ceremonial, intentional, and heart-centered living and loving. Mara currently lives in Vancouver, Canada with her husband and two daughters.

To niche or not to niche, that is the question. Spoiler alert, the answer is most definitely yes, niche. But, if you’ve been listening to this podcast I bet you already knew that right? In this episode Nyk Danu shares a plethora of practical skills to help you understand what niching can do for your business as a yoga teacher, and how to do it.
ABOUT NYK DANU
Nyk teaches therapeutic yoga to MisFits. Gen Xers (and sometimes Y) who don’t feel at home in mainstream Yoga circles: the rebels, underdogs, introverts, geeks, and bookworms - and she has a butt load of training and education (check her certs page on her website if you want the deets). As a Yoga Therapist, Nyk’s specialty is helping people with Back Pain and Anxiety.

Wow. I try not to pick favourites, but right now, I just can’t help it. My conversation with Acyuta-bhava Das is hands down, one of my all-time favourite podcast interviews I’ve ever done. Perhaps it’s because of the timely nature of the topics we cover for me personally, or Acyuta’s refreshing level of devotion to his craft, I walked away from this conversation with a spring in my step for days.
If you’ve ever let your fear of the mob keep you from putting yourself out there, feel disenfranchised with running a business or simply want to know how Acyuta puts out a new video on youtube 5 days a week, then buckle up and join us for the ride.

Have you ever asked yourself “If I give away all this free content, why would anyone pay me?” or perhaps you’ve pondered, “What type of content should be free, and what types of content should be paid?”
If so, you’re not alone. Those questions are some of the most common ones I get from my business coaching clients and LTL students. And I get it. Creating content takes a lot of time, effort and energy - all of which as a small business owner, we need to be smart about allocating.
